, QUESTION 1
1.1) The level of skills training of the population and the productivity of labour
play an important role in South Africa’s ability to satisfy the needs of its
inhabitants. Distinguish between the different levels of skills in South Africa.
There is currently a lack of skilled labour in South Africa. In mentioning this,
there are large numbers of people in the country who do not have the
necessary skills to make a productive contribution to society.
• An unskilled occupation requires no training. Unskilled labourers include
cleaners, labourers, bus conductors and hospital porters. Training is done on
the job when it is required to maintain standards and to stay abreast of
changes.
• A semi-skilled occupation requires a certain amount of basic training.
Semi-skilled labourers include factory machine operators, typists or waiters. At
this level, refresher courses are given so that employees can improve their
skills when necessary.
• A skilled occupation is one for which several years of training is necessary.
Jewellers, electricians, carpenters, secretaries and building supervisors are
examples of skilled labourers. During training, people become aware of the
commitment expected if they are to maintain the expected standard of
service.
• A professional and managerial occupation normally requires high
qualifications (either from a technician, university or technical college) and
specialisation in a certain direction, for example, lawyers, social workers,
teachers, doctors, engineers, opticians and chemists.
